The love grenade
God’s love is multidirectional.
And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. – Ephesians 3:17-19
God’s love is like a grenade; when it explodes its power spreads in every direction. A grenade spreads death, but God’ love spreads life and hope.
Those who have experienced God’s love know about its life-changing effects. But just as a grenade has no effect unless its trigger is released, the love of God has no effect unless it is released. If we want other people to be “affected” by the power of God’s love someone needs to release it.
How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? – Romans 10:14
Unfortunately, some that affirm that have received God’s love are spreading a confusing message that results in many people rejecting the message of love. This makes it an urgent matter for the rest of us to make sure that the right message is preached. Everyday it becomes more important to preach through a love-filled life with which we will be able to support our words. After all, love means nothing without action.
It doesn’t take a lot of effort to release the power of a grenade, it is just a matter of pulling the trigger and throwing it to the target – for sure someone will be affected by its power. In the same way, if we release the trigger and throw the love grenade someone will be affected by the power of God’s love. Do not worry about the target; everyone is in need for His love. So let us take advantage of every opportunity to release the trigger to unleash the power available in the love grenade.
